I am big on healthy living and I am also big on green living. Therefore, water filters are a product I can totally get behind. I can’t recommend them enough since they are good for your and good for environment. That is why I was happy to provide a review of an Aquasana Water Filter. I chose the under sink water filter model to review. It fits under the sink and keeps your countertops free. I love the filtered water having it’s own water filter spigot. The Aquasana Under Sink 2 Stage water filter was provided to me in order to facilitate review.
Aquasana Reviews:
I chose to review an Aquasana water filter. I trusted the Aquasana brand because they have been in business since 1998. They are known for providing excellent water filters. If you are looking for clean water, they have just about every product to help you with that from water softener to whole house filters to a reverse osmosis system. I found tons of positive Aquasana reviews when I did my research. Aquasana drinking water filters are NSF Certified to reduce 77 common water contaminants. This includes over 96% of chlorine and chloramines as well as over 99% of lead, asbestos, turbidity and VOCs. Basically, Aquasana gave me peace of mind.
NSF-certified Aquasana drinking water filters have been named a “Best Buy” by Consumers Digest for six straight years. They have also been named one of “America’s Healthiest Gadgets” by Health magazine in 2010 and 2011. Plus, they’ve been chosen as a Consumer Reports “Best Buy” in 2010 and 2011. The under sink filter is a great buy, easy to install, and works great. It makes it easier for me to keep my family green and healthy at the same time!
Aquasana Water Filter Review Of Under Sink Model:
How It Looks
I chose to try the Aquasana AQ-4600/4601 Under Counter Water Filter. It comes with its own dedicated faucet with 3 faucet finish choices– chrome, brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze.
If you are pretty handy, there is no professional installation required. My husband had the honors of installing this water filter and he said it was pretty easy installation and a better design than others he has had the pleasure of installing. I must say I think that it looks fabulous and I love that the faucet handle turns so that I don’t have to hold down the handle while I wait for a pot to fill.
How It Works
Now let’s get down to how it works. A leader in water filtration technology, Aquasana water filters use patent-pending Claryum™ Filtration Technology to provide superior contaminant reduction. Their drinking water filters remove more than 99 percent of the chlorine, lead, herbicides, pesticides, industrial solvents and cysts found in tap water while preserving healthy minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium. I really like that they give me the number 99% rather than just saying if does the job. The ion exchange and sub-micron filtration tackle heavy metals like lead and mercury, along with asbestos. That is so good to know!
In comparison to my old pitcher filter, I love being able to get as much filtered water as I want without waiting for it to filter. The Aquasana water filter is so effective and filters out more than just basic contaminants leaving great tasting water. I can use city water and the filter system helps ensure there are no harmful contaminants. Furthermore, I don’t have to wonder about the main water line or internal pipes. I can rest assured that the filtration process will provide great-tasting water with high water quality.
Aquasana Filter Replacement
I also love that the Aquasana filter replacement parts don’t need to replaced as often as some of the competitors. Aquasana filters are long-lasting and economical – the filter cartridges provide six months of clear, healthy water for as little as ten cents per gallon.
The Aquasana AQ-4600/4601 Under Counter 2 Stage Water Filter requires the AQ-4035 WATER FILTER REPLACEMENT every 6 months.
2021 UPDATE
I am still using my water filter set up. It is cost efficient and long lasting. Aquasana has updated the under sink water filters. They still make the water filter replacement cartridges for the old models. However if you have the new Aquasana AQ 5300 under sink 2 stage model, it requires the AQ-5200 REPLACEMENT filters.
Where To Buy Aquasana Water Filter:
You can purchase Aquasana Water System and Filters at aquasana.com or on Amazon (affiliate link).
I love having a water filter at my kitchen sink so that I can get fresh filtered water right when I want it, in any quantity I want. The good news is I don’t have to refill the pitcher anymore and I can fill up my reusable water bottles with ease. Furthermore, I can taste a huge difference in the water- and the filtered water tastes so much better! Would you like to try an Aquasana water filter?

I like the fact that unlike bottled water, home water filters are required to document the purity of the water they produce. The NSF-International certification is a nice feature of the Aquasana water filtration systems.

I like that they have independent testing of their shower filter. So it’s more than what they say their product does; they have proof.
Jae says
I like the handheld shower wand filter system. I think it would be great to use in my shower for water flow, flow rate, and fixing my hard water problem.
shauron w says
I like that it lets you know this fact: “THERE ARE NO GOVERNMENT STANDARDS THAT REQUIRE BOTTLED WATER TO BE ANY BETTER, PURER OR SAFER THAN TAP WATER” a lot of people may not know this. I didn’t.

I like the Shower filter has Cosmetic Benefits:
Chlorine also strips the natural protective oils from skin and hair, causing excess drying and aging. In addition to the obvious health benefits of showering in chemical-free water, the cosmetic benefits are even more noticeable. Anyone who has ever gone swimming in a chlorinated pool can relate to the harsh drying effect that chlorine has on your skin and hair. Without the negative effects of chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water, your skin and hair retain moisture more effectively for a younger, healthier look and feel. Chemical-free water also extends the life of hair colorings and highlights.
